Resources

Where to read him, hear him, and follow the Cause. We host nothing ourselves; every link below goes to the people who hold the rights or keep the archive.

Our own resources are coming

Via JMJ is at work on original material: study guides to his books, reading paths for people meeting him for the first time, translated prayers and devotions, and reflections drawn from his own words. These will appear here as they are finished, and more will follow after the beatification. In the meantime, the list below is our honest recommendation of what already exists and is worth your time.
